It's only a sporter but I need some info.

[Buster95]

I just received a BSA mkIII 1918 (sporter) and I need some help about the markings, especially the word "England" on the receiver. The bolt, receiver and barrel are matching but the serial on the barrel is hard to read, the markings are all correct for this rifle?

Here are some pics of the markings.












Also, I had some Lee Enfield in the past (6 or 7) and none of them had a "counter bored" barrel but the barrel on my rifle is slightly "counter bored" is it normal?
